Hands-on Training

Nothing beats real-life experience in your field of study. NU courses require an internship, and faculty members and career development counselors help match students with the employers that are best for them. Many internships and co-op experiences are even paid!

Minors

In addition to the BFA programs, the Department of Theatre and Fine Arts offers a variety of minors. Through the College of Arts and Sciences, a minor is awarded to a student who has successfully completed a sequence of five courses in the appropriate discipline. This sequence of courses is determined by the student in consultation with a departmental advisor.
